200g ground pork
1 small onion
2 potatoes
20g butter
salt and pepper to taste
nutmeg to taste
2 tablespoons white wine
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 eggs

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil provides healthier fats while margarine is more budget-friendly.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast is lower in fat and adds a cheesy flavor.

ham

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: cooked chicken

Turkey bacon is lower in fat, while cooked chicken is often more affordable.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk is lower in calories, and water can be used to reduce richness.

1

Beat eggs and milk together in a bowl until well combined.

2

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat until foamy.

3

Add diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet; sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

4

Stir in diced ham and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

5

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting to distribute evenly.

6

Cook until the edges begin to set, about 2-3 minutes.

7

Gently lift the edges with a spatula, allowing uncooked eggs to flow underneath.

8

Sprinkle cheese on top, then fold the omelette in half.

9

Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts and the center is set.

10

Slide the omelette onto a plate and drizzle with ketchup and soy sauce.

11

Garnish with chopped green onion before serving.
